Really? I'm taller than you and weigh less, but I consider myself a "person
of size."

I'm the same height and weigh 40-55 lbs less, and I'm a person of size.

Yup. I'm shorter and I weigh less but ... a person of size. You bet.

Get a life. It's not even offensive. It's an airplane cabin with fat people
stuck in their seats, and an announcement being made saying "Welcome to
London. Once the other passengers have exited the plane, we will begin
prying any remaining Americans from their seats."

That's actually very funny, speaking as a Person of Size.

Of course, I'm comfortable enough with my embaressment over my weight to
exclaim "a me-sized desk" when I find a chair and separate table in a
classroom full of uni-desks..

The whole world says Americans are lazy and overweight. Maybe NAAFA would
boycott every country in which their people think that...

As for me, Bizarro has gained one reader from all of this.

Well, thanks. I couldn't access the OP's link.

It IS pretty funny. Sorry if some folks are offended, but there is
precious little humor (even in comic strips) these days that doesn't
somehow offend somebody. I guess tact and humor cancel each other out.
